The LVN was asked if he normally sanitized the glucometer with an alcohol pad and he replied yes. LVN B said as far as he knew that was an appropriate way to sanitize the glucometer. The LVN was in the process of entering another resident's room to perform a blood sugar check with the same glucometer he had just used on Resident #71 when the surveyor intervened and asked the LVN to stop. LVN B looked in his medication cart and found some germicidal bleach wipes and proceeded to sanitize the glucometer before proceeding to perform another blood sugar check. (A glucometer is a device used to test a person's sugar level by applying a drop of blood unto a test strip that is inserted in the glucometer). During an interview on 08/21/2025 at 5:05 PM the DON said the nurses were expected to use a germicidal wipe to sanitize the glucometers in between resident's blood sugar checks. The DON was made aware of a nurse using an alcohol pad to sanitize the glucometer. The DON said she believed the alcohol pad was an appropriate way to sanitize the glucometer. The DON said she was not sure what their policy indicated but that she would look. Record review of the facility's undated policy and titled Glucometer policy indicated in part: It is the policy of our facilities that the glucometer be cleaned after each use. This procedure will ensure that any area of the glucometer that could possibly come in contact with blood will be cleaned properly to avoid any possible chance of cross-contamination. Each glucometer will be cleaned with an alcohol-free cleaning product that is a germicidal, viricidal and anti-bacterial agent. After each use the glucometer is to be c leaned with an approved alcohol-free cleaning product. Sani-cloth is used in our facilities as the cleaning product of choice for our glucometers. Record review of the CDC's website on 08/21/2025, the website indicated in part: Do not share blood glucose meters. If you must share them in a healthcare or congregate setting, select a device designed for use in professional settings, not an over-the-counter device. Clean and disinfect blood glucose meters after every use, per the manufacturer's instructions. These recommendations apply in: Long-term care settings (e.g., nursing homes and assisted living facilities). https://www.cdc.gov/injection-safety/hcp/infection-control/index.html. Record review of the glucometer's manufacturers recommendation indicated in part: Your EvenCare G2 Meter and lancing device are validated to withstand a cleaning and disinfection cycle of ten times per day for an average period of three years. The following products are validated for disinfecting the EvenCare G2 meter and lancing device.
